As originally seen here, perhaps Matt is a BccList.com reader…

Stating the obvious, the highlight begins around the 1:20 mark…

“I need to know if she really thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. That’s important. I want to know that, I really do. Because she’s going to have the nuclear codes. I want to know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. Or if she banned books or tried to ban books. I mean, we can’t have that.”

The following breakdown is common knowledge, but, I need to vent. There are only 3 types of republican supporter. God forbid you’re a republican – which type are you?

1) The Racist. Also known as the inbred. This supporter forgets that our country is known as the melting pot. They are still stuck in either the late 1700s and/or modern day communities in the deep south/plain states. They can’t grasp that the civil war/slavery ended a long time ago. There’s probably a confederate flag, gun, and/or cross ready to burn lying around the house. They definitely lock the car door when driving even 45 mph past a person of color. You will never find them on public transportation – especially, a bus. Fortunately, these votes don’t really matter given their geographic location.

2) The Religious. Also known as sarah palin. Creepy as hell and VERY gullible. In sarah’s case, they belong to a church that speaks in tongues, prays for pipelines, and believes that the Iraq war is a holy war – a.k.a. jihad. Unfortunately, their votes matter because religious people show up in masses and aren’t solely found in south/plain states. W.W.J.D.? I can guarantee you he wouldn’t vote for a republican. They need to wake up since no matter how they vote, Roe vs. Wade isn’t getting overturned. If it miraculously does get overturned within the next 20 years – unlikely – women will still go to New York, California, Illinois, or 20 other states to have an abortion. They are getting played HARDCORE by the 3rd type – the Rich.

3) The Rich. Also known as the mccain family. They successfully recruit the religious vote by insinuating that god will have you burn in hell if you don’t try to overturn Roe vs. Wade. But, I’ll give credit when credit is due – you smart bastards. Rich as hell. Top 10% or so of all money earned. The only ones truly “impacted” by a Democratic president. They are sort of annoyed that they have to act like they agree with the religious, but, the rich are too small of a cross section to influence an election so a person has to do what a person has to do. Bright, cunning, elitist, and soulless enough to further misinform the other two types of republicans that a Democrat will tax you. When Democratic opponents point out the fact that only those making over $250,000 could see an increase in taxes, the rich look the other way and hope nobody catches on. They also love to say a big government is bad as they take a daily swim or two in their stockpile of money.

Bottom line: The rich are rich for a reason – fast talking, intelligent, and willing to sell their soul to the devil. They literally own the republican party. The religious are the puppies but most impactful group of voters – doing what they’re told by the rich because they’re afraid of something (god) they hope exists. The racist are living in a fairy tale world and plotting how they can form a coalition of muzzleloaders and secede.

Ah, that felt good. Back to work – great lunch break!

We’re only as competent as the political leaders we elect.

Oh no – exploit a daughter for political gain by setting up a tour of the media circuit and look what happens…

Meg sure does talk with a lot of authority for a 24/25 year old – hahahahahahahah. Nice try at a retraction…

“I want to clarify my comments about my family “understanding war unlike any other”. My family understands the demands of war, in reference to our family’s generations of service to the nation, including that of my grandfather, father and brothers. But obviously, there are many American families that have made, and are making, the ultimate sacrifice in the pursuit of defending freedom. And those families and those sacrifices should be honored above all else. I regret my comments as they were delivered. I certainly did not mean to diminish the sobering fact of these families’ sacrifices in any way.”

Countdown with Keith Olbermann, thank you.

P.S.  The “tactic” of saying the word “obvious” every 3rd word and rolling your eyes to show you’re thinking when stating something you obviously know are soooooo 2005.  I assume meghan mccain loves The Apprentice.

Looks like someone is living the dream…

“Before the Democratic National Convention in late August, Obama held an 8 percentage point lead among white women voters, 50 percent to 42 percent, but after the Republican convention in early September, McCain was ahead by 12 points among white women, 53 percent to 41 percent, the poll found.”

Let’s go – I assume you don’t want to be labeled as the cross section of America that ruins our country for another 4 years!

I’ll play devil’s advocate and say maybe she was just trying to get the keys out from his pocket.  Yes, it must have been a crotch pocket.

Burchie, thank you.

During my daily click-throughs of paid sponsorship ads for mccain, I stumbled across the banner ad below.

I initially thought it was a spoof created by The Onion (or equivalent).  But, it turns out this is a real banner ad on the mccain-palin contribution page.  Isn’t there government regulation of false and misleading advertising?

We’re only as competent as the political leaders we elect.

P.S.  I didn’t highlight “Reform” because I was confused.  As mentioned originally on BccList.com here, I am convinced the republicans think the last 8 years were the result of a Democratic administration.

Gas should drop to $3.50 (or less) a gallon within the next few months as seen originally on BccList.com here, here, here, and here.

A bucket of delicious, delicious beer.

Shawn doesn’t believe that we’re live blogging but we are. huh? beer.

Couldn’t ask for a better day!  It’s nice being “old” and thus able to sit in sweet seats.

Detroit, wake the fck up!  It’s refreshing to hear someone talk honest after the last 3 days of republican National Convention propaganda.

Excerpts…

Q: OK. Who’s the best player (you’ve hired)?

A: I’d say the best player we ever drafted was Isiah Thomas.

Q: Can you say anything — and I recognize it’s been a complex relationship over the years — about the falling out you two had at the end of his playing career?

A: Well, I was very, very close to Isiah, and there were times he was almost like a son. But, because of his background, um … I told him he had to change — you know, coming from where he came from. I said, “You’ve got it made now. Don’t keep doing those things that you’ve been doing.” I won’t tell you what they are. But he couldn’t change.

Q: How did it heal?

A: One day I decided — this was about five years ago — that there’s only one guy that I’m really not friendly with. So I called Isiah up, and I said Isiah (chuckling) — before I go to my grave — you know, whenever I do — I want you and I to be friends.

____________________________________________________________

Q: Speaking of coaching, let me ask you about a few coaches. Larry Brown. What can you tell me about him?

A: Well, Larry Brown is not what he appears to be. And he’s built a reputation for himself based on his own PR people. He’s not what he appears to be.

____________________________________________________________

Q: Do you find it interesting having to merge your background — a white, Jewish businessman — with a sport where most of your players are African American and many from the inner city?

A: To be perfectly honest with you, because I’ve been living with this for 30 years or more, I don’t see color. I don’t distinguish color anymore, which is a good thing. Thirty years ago, I might have. But by being with the players, getting to know them, if you asked me do we have a white player on the team, I couldn’t tell you — well, I could tell you, but it wouldn’t make any difference. I get to know the personality much more than the color of the skin. Color means nothing.

____________________________________________________________

Q: Do you think that given the state of the auto businesses Detroit has any chance of being a major city again?

A: I doubt it. I don’t think it was ever a major city, strictly because so much depended on the automotive business.

Q: So what is the future for Detroit?

A: Well, I think there are certain centers such as Ann Arbor which are growing and have a future. I’m not pessimistic about it. I think the damage has already been done. I’m hoping the city of Detroit will clean up and get on a positive note. I think the number of people who have moved out of the city may have peaked and we’ll find enough other types of businesses that will support generally the area in general. … Hopefully the motion picture deal will have some affect. But I think you’re gonna find a little bit here and a little bit there. It will gradually stabilize.

Q: What about the auto business?

A: It doesn’t look good. That’s one area where you have to be pessimistic.

____________________________________________________________

Q: Are you a happy man?

A: Yeah.

Q: All day long?

A: Nobody is happy all day long. But I’m a positive person.

Q: What have you found, in general, makes a person happy?

A: Whatever you accomplish. Your accomplishments.

More importantly, it’s time to revisit one of the best YouTube clips that exists…

I guess LOL is the new “Ha, ha.”

I guess Kilpartick is the new piece of shiat!

Erin, thank you!
